Aeschylus

Honor modesty more than your life.

Aeschylus

I beg you, alight and join your sorrow with mine: misfortune wanders everywhere, and settles now upon one and now upon another.

Aeschylus

I gave them hope, and so turned away their eyes from death

Aeschylus

I have been schooled by my own suffering: I’ve learned the many ways of being purged.

Aeschylus

I have learned to hate all traitors, and there is no disease that I spit on more than treachery.

Aeschylus

I say you must not win an unjust case by oaths.

Aeschylus

I say, wrong must not win by technicalities.

Aeschylus

I will speak in defense of reason: for the very child of vanity is violence.

Aeschylus

I willingly speak to those who know, but for those who do not know I forget.

Aeschylus

If you pour oil and vinegar into the same vessel, you would call them not friends but opponents.

Aeschylus
